Chapter 35: Changing Sides

Meanwhile, right after Su Yayan had finished live streaming, she received that familiar notification prompt. There was no doubt that this local tyrant who came out of nowhere was Huo Chenhuan.
Although she had no idea from where Huo Chenhuan heard that she was live streaming, that did not influence her good mood.
Especially when Su Yayan had gained three or four hundred Likability from it.
The results of live streaming for the first two days were satisfying. Su Yayan gave out a sigh of relief, cleaned the kitchen, and got caught by her mother when she was about to leave the house.
“I heard from your brother. You made a loving lunch box for that man and went to deliver it yourself?”
Su Yayan was stunned for a moment, then she shot an accusatory look toward her brother, blaming him for telling her mother.
Su Yuxuan shifted his gaze onto the ceiling and acted as if he did not see anything.
It was hard to raise such a big Chinese cabbage and now it was being given freely to a pig, he had never felt this hard done by!
“Why are you looking at your brother? Did he say something wrong about you?”
“… No.”
“No? Then it’s true.” Cheng Xiuqin’s facial expression turned dark, feeling upset but also a bit amused. “Is this why people always say that married daughters are like spilled water? You’re not even married yet and you’re already making lunch boxes for him. Will you still remember your parents in the future? Oh my, is this my poor fate?”
Cheng Xiuqin wiped her tears off her face as if there were actually tears on it. Su Yayan twitched her lips a little, secretly wondering in exasperation what cheesy family drama series her mother must have watched.
She did not dare to express her dissatisfaction, though. She moved closer to Cheng Xiuqin, trying to gain back her trust as she spoke in a soft voice, “Mom, what are you talking about? How can I forget you after being with him?”
“Then why did you prepare a meal for him?”
After that, Mr. Su and big brother Su, who was standing not far away, gave out a snort coincidentally, agreeing with what Cheng Xiuqin said.
Su Yayan’s expression stiffened a little but reverted in a second. She sighed, “I did it out of pity for him.”
“Pity?”
“Yes. He can’t even walk properly now, and his relatives were all behaving like that. It’s not hard to imagine how he’s faring. He wouldn’t leave the old mansion unless he has to, he’s sleeping and working there. Isn’t that because people treat him badly when he’s outside? How pitiful is that if I don’t go over to keep him company?”
Cheng Xiuqin had always been a softhearted person and, after listening to Su Yayan’s explanation, she changed her mind a little. “Is he that pitiful?”
“How could he not be? What with the kind of people his family are. They barely show enough courtesy to not blabber degrading insults in front of him, so you can’t expect them to be nice to him.”
Cheng Xiuqin choked—if only Su Yayan had told her this earlier, she would have sided with Huo Shaofeng and his family and spoke up for them. However…
Huo Shaofeng’s mother was her best friend since she studied at university. She thought that the two of them knew each other well, otherwise she would not have agreed on Su Yayan’s and Huo Shaofeng’s marriage.
As a result, that family slapped hers on the face real hard, especially her best friend.
Cheng Xiuqin detested that family group. Huo Shaofeng must not be a good person, those parents of his that brought him up were no good at all!
“I understand what you mean.”
The father and son who had been watching by the side, “…” ‘Honey (mom) wait, how can you change sides so easily? I thought we’re on the same team?’
